Programme Note
Come and celebrate this festive season with Kew Sinfonia at our charity Christmas concert in December! You are warmly invited to join us at St Paul’s Church, Chiswick for our annual event, which this year is being held in aid of the church’s chosen charity, Embrace the Middle East.
A magical evening awaits, packed with fun, frolics and heartwarming moments as we take to the skies and fly through a starry night with Raymond Briggs’ Snowman. We’ll experience thrills, spills and the nostalgic spirit of family Christmases in Home Alone, enjoy the majesty of Handel and revel in the elegant merriment of Johann Strauss’ ever-popular Viennese dance music.
We are delighted to be joined again by the choir of Brentford School for Girls, who will be singing in some of these pieces as well as leading everyone in a few traditional Christmas carols. And, of course, not forgetting the excitement of dashing through the snow, bells jingling, with our usual rendition of Anderson’s jaunty Sleigh Ride. We look forward to welcoming you for this joyous occasion!
